After sustaining an injury early in the season, Jameis said he didn't think he would lose his starting job to Andy.
Saints coach Dennis Allen said on Wednesday that he wouldn't be making a switch and that the job was going to be done by the end of the week.
The Saints played the Minnesota Vikings in London on October 2. Allen said at the beginning of the week that he was considering a quarterback change, but he decided against it.
After talking with Allen in London, he thought he would return as the starter. Allen said at the time that he was restingWinston to allow his back and foot injuries to heal, but he decided he would be the starter a few weeks later if the offense continued to perform well.
The policy has always been that you don't lose your job because of injury. That's what happened.
When he injured his back in the first game of the season against Atlanta, he probably shouldn't have played the next game, but he wanted to play. When he tore his knee last year, he was playing against the team that drafted him first.
He feels he's healthy enough to play and that's not the case anymore. Allen said it was unlikely that he would be 100% this season.
I'm getting better." I've not been playing. This is the best healing that I can get.
It has been a difficult season for him, but he wants to be a leader from the sideline.
I have to deal with what I have to deal with right now. When the time comes for me to return to the field, I'm going to support this offense, I'm going to support everyone on this offensive. Even though it hurts my heart, I wear a shirt that says 'big team, little me'. It hurts my soul but it is what it is.
He said that he owes it to the team to be in the role that he is currently in. I'm sorry to the fans. Some of them would like to see me. We need to start this week with a win as a team because I believe winning makes a lot of things better. Everyone contributes to a team win. I think we will all be better at the end of the day if we win a team game.
There are a lot of players who will not be playing against the Los Angeles Rams. Saints veteran defensive end Cameron Jordan, who has never missed a game because of injury in his 12 years in the league, will sit this game with an eye injury.
Jordan said that he played most of the game with a swollen eye.
I can't believe it. "You can control what you want," he wrote on his account. After the game, Jordan didn't practice.
The Saints won't have defensive end Marcus Davenport and safety J.T. Gray. Left guard Andrus Peat is questionable.
